Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea in mix for surprise€50m arrival

Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United are all keeping a close eye on Vitor Roque for the summer, as Palmeiras set a very high asking price.

According to local outletRádio Tupi, the Brazilian club do not plan to negotiate lightly. Palmeiras have set a reference price of around £43m (€50m). Only offers that arrive within the summer window and meet the valuation will trigger talks.

The club base that stance on three factors. Vitor Roque’s age weighs heavily – he’s still only 20 years old and is entering his fifth year as a senior footballer. His recent performances also matter – he was the club’s top scorer last season, with 20 goals. And Palmeiras knows his resale potential.

Contract terms strengthen Palmeiras’ position. Vitor Roque is tied down until December 2029. That deal removes any urgency to sell. It also allows the club to push for add-ons. Performance-related bonuses linked to continental competitions remain part of the internal plan.

The story saysChelsea, Tottenham Hotspur andManchester United are following developments with caution – and they all were linked to him last year as well. But none one of the clubs have made a formal approach so far.

Tottenham are assessing the player amid possible changes to their attacking options next season, especially withRicharlison leaving. Chelsea and Manchester United view Vitor Roque as part of a wider shortlist. They continue to analyse cost, timing and squad balance.

For now, Palmeiras remain in control. Unless a Premier League side tests that position with a major bid, the expectation in Brazil is that Vitor Roque stays for now.

This could be one which builds in the coming months.
